Infectious diseases kill more people worldwide than any other single cause.

Infectious diseases are caused by germs. Germs are tiny living things that are found everywhere - in air, soil and water. You can get infected by touching, eating, drinking or breathing something that contains a germ. Germs can also spread through animal and insect bites, kissing and bodily contact. Vaccines, proper hand washing and medicines can help prevent infections.

This useful app discusses the most important topics in infectious diseases and is ideal for all medical professionals, medical residents and interns, nurses, medical students, and of course curious lay people who just want to learn more about infectious diseases.
